Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 16, 2011, IDACORP, Inc. (“IDACORP”) entered into a Sales Agency Agreement (“Sales Agency Agreement”) with BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC (“BNYMCM”). Under the terms of the Sales Agency Agreement, IDACORP may offer and sell up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, without par value (the “Shares”), from time to time through BNYMCM as IDACORP's agent for the offer and sale of the Shares.
The Sales Agency Agreement replaces a sales agency agreement dated December 5, 2008, between IDACORP and BNYMCM, as amended on December 3, 2010, that provided for the sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of IDACORP common stock and that expired in November 2011, with 1,165,233 shares unissued at the expiration date. IDACORP offered and sold 1,834,767 shares of its common stock under the December 2008 agreement.
The Sales Agency Agreement contains representations, warranties and agreements of IDACORP, customary conditions to closing and issuance of the Shares, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. The Sales Agency Agreement provides that the offering of Shares pursuant to the agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (1) the sale of all shares of IDACORP common stock subject to the Sales Agency Agreement, (2) termination of the Sales Agency Agreement by either BNYMCM or IDACORP, and (3) December 16, 2014. A copy of the Sales Agency Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report. The foregoing description of the Sales Agency Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
The offering of Shares will be made pursuant to IDACORP's registration statement previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-178023), which became effective on November 16, 2011. On December 16, 2011, in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares from time to time, IDACORP filed a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b).
